7Testing the library and resuming operation

Before resuming operation, use the Demo Menu from the operator panel to ensure that the robot and the newly installed tape drive are communicating correctly. The Demo Menu causes the robot to randomly move cartridges from slot to slot, including the fixed cartridge slots.

To test the library operation using the Demo Menu, follow these steps:

1.Insert a cartridge in the entry/exit port.

Note: All other cartridges in the library can remain where they are. The testing can also be performed without any cartridges other than the one in the entry/exit port.

2.If necessary, disable security as follows:

a.Press the [MENU] key to display the menus. Press the down arrow key until “Security” appears on the screen, as shown below. If security is enabled, “LCD Password” appears on this screen.
